Omnibus Smutmas Wrap-up (OSW).

Four whole months after sign-ups were announced, it's all over. The names have been revealed and merry_smutmas 2005 is at an end. (Well, smutmas_elves is still posting, but if you don't count that...) I don't know about the rest of you, but this has been a huge part of my fandom life for a third of a year, and I'm sorry to see it go. So. Much. Fun! I prostrate myself at the feet of gmth and her helpers in abject gratitude. ♥

My lovely gift was written by pansydarkbloom. Nice to meet you! :D You did a terrific job.

Noooobody figured out which fic I wrote, even when I gave hints. Perhaps because it was a pairing I'd never written before. Stealthy! I wrote:

The little death (NC-17, Viktor/Cedric) for dracopottamus. My "long-suffering beta" was _hannelore.

( And now I will ramble at length about the process of writing it. Mostly for my own recollection, because I'll never remember any of this otherwise. )

Of course, the other extra fun part was the reccing! And the finding out who I unknowingly recced! As follows.

( Fic/art wot I recced, this time with authors/artists. )

Of seventeen, eleven were already on my friends list, and several of these were already among my favorite authors/artists. The only ones I can say I've literally never heard of are yeats and pansydarkbloom. I should have been a lot better at guessing! But it seems that what I enjoyed blindly reflected my usual preferences pretty well, which is always nice to know. :)


Lastly, bethbethbeth has a couple posts of Smutmas meta, one comparing 2004 to 2005, and one comparing Smutmas to its het counterpart.


Bring on Smutmas 2006!
